What is Pewbeam?
Pewbeam is an AI agent designed specifically for church use, automating Bible verse presentations without preloaded slides. It uses advanced techniques like embeddings, similarity search, and NLP in a RAG framework to achieve lightning-fast response times—now as low as 2ms to 100ms per verse. The system even learns from misses, updating its vocabulary to improve accuracy over time.
Key Features and Tech
- Real-time audio processing: Captures pastor’s speech, including paraphrases, to fetch and project verses seamlessly.
- Speed optimisations: Reduced from 500ms to under 100ms, making it feel instantaneous during services.
- Self-improving AI: Adapts by learning from errors, enhancing performance with each use.
- Tested in real churches: Debuted at Celebration Church International in Ibadan, proving reliable in live settings.
This blend of faith and tech positions Pewbeam as a leader in church-focused AI innovations from Nigeria.
Background and Journey
Dára Sobaloju built Pewbeam after identifying a need for dynamic sermon visuals, sharing progress publicly since mid-2025. Pre-launch tests invited church users for feedback, building hype ahead of today’s full release. Featured in outlets like TechCabal, it highlights how Nigerian devs are merging spirituality with cutting-edge tools.
Why It Matters for Churches
In an era of digital worship, Pewbeam keeps congregations engaged by syncing Scripture directly to the message flow, like “Shazam for Bible verses.” For tech-savvy churches in Nigeria or beyond, it’s a game-changer for immersive services. Early adopters report smoother preaching without manual slide switches.
